brings Budi's world crashing down. Now he owes the Dragon, the most
dangerous man in Jakarta. Soon it isn't only Budi's dreams at
stake, but his life. A story about dreaming big, about hope and

can go wrong on a football pitch. Injuries can happen to anyone -
even Roy of the Rovers. Is Roy's career over before it's even
begun? Will he ever play in front of the Mel Park faithful again?
And can Rovers make it to the playoff finals without him? The
dramatic footballing adventure of Roy Race continues! Enjoyed this
title? Pick up Play-Offs next to continue the story! Praise for the
Roy of the Rovers series: EPIC! - Match of the Day Magazine I love
the way that they are about so much more than football: they are
about heart, values and family. Both graphic novel and fiction
titles are compelling, engaging and a lot of fun. Lace up and get
reading. - Jim Sells, Programme manager for Sport & Literacy,
National Literacy Trust. Read with my 7 year old who is football
mad, really enjoyed it and left us wanting to read the next one in
the series! - GoodReads Review
